| Description | This course discusses the basic concepts needed to explain and understand the various structures of inorganic compounds and the reactions of inorganic compounds. The lecture begins with an explanation of basic concepts about atoms and molecules, as well as developing theories about both. The discussion continues with the concept of symmetry, which is used to help understand the geometric shape of molecules. Types of chemical bonds are also discussed including two aspects, namely intra-molecular bonds (Lewis Structure, VSEPR, Molecular Orbital Theory, Valence Bonds, Hybridization) and inter-molecular bonds (London Forces, Dipole-dipole Forces, Induced Dipoles and Hydrogen Bonds) . The basic concepts needed to explain and understand the reactions that occur in inorganic compounds begin with a brief review of the previous lecture material, then continue with the basic concepts of chemical bonds and the energy that accompanies them. The energy discussed is focused on its function to explain the spontaneity of reactions. The reactions discussed include reactions of inorganic compounds in water and non-water solvents, for example acid-base, ionic and redox. At the end of the material, an introduction to the structure of coordination chemistry is also given, as well as the application of inorganic chemistry in the environmental and green chemistry fields. |
